Can anyone help me with some timeline issues?

I need to confirm my times with my photographer, I hope someone can help . . . I feel so lost today!

My photography package comes with 10 hours of photography.

My ceremony starts at 12:30pm and the reception ends at 6pm.

We are all meeting at my house before the ceremony and taking our photos before the ceremony at a location that is approximately 11 miles from the ceremony site (mapquest tells me it should take 17 minutes to travel there).

So . . . what time do I tell the photographers to be at my house? I also want to take a few photos at home before we leave for the photo site. How long do photos take? When should we leave my hosue to go take the photos? Important facts to know:

- Distance between my house and photo site is 3 miles.
- Distance between photo site and ceremony site is 11 miles.
- Ceremony starts at 12:30pm.
- We do not have a big bridal party, only a MOH and best man.
- My photography package has 10 hours of photography.

As it gets closer, I feel as if I am losing my mind!!!

Thanks for your assistance if you can help!

I had a similar issue and was stressing about it quite a bit. I actually ended up calling my photograher and he helped me tremendously. I was pissed that I spent so much time stressing when all I had to do was call the professionals I hired to help me. I suggest you call the photographer and tell him/her your dilemma. They have likely seen it all and can help you out with your timing issue.

Thanks. They gave me some guidance, but all of a sudden are asking me about it again. Unfortunately they are closed on Tuesdays.

I guess my biggest question is how long do photos take?
